Jesus Christ.... as an r/c pilot ... NOT THE SAME FUCKING THING in the least but this looks to be a classic example of what we call "dumb thumbs" where you temporarily lose your coordination or bearings and make an input that causes a catastrophic event.

I couldn't watch the ending... God bless her!

I don't know what happened, you can see the elevator fan out just before it pitches in, he pulled the stick back all the way for some reason.

Looked like a classic stall to me. I will look a bit deeper.

He was inverted, pushing forward on the stick, looks like he stalled the wing while he was inverted.

Exceeded critical angle of attack to the relative wind. It does not matter if right-side up or inverted.

A stall can occur at any speed, any angle if the critical angle of attack is exceeded.

Why does he have the elevator at full stick back just before the crash? It seems like that is what caused the accident. It's possible it's just a visual trick, but at the transition from 0:33 to 0:34 I see what looks like the elevator out.
